What Are You Wearing on Your Nails?

I rarely like a color so much that I’ll commit to wearing it on both my peeties and paws at the same time, but I’m doing exactly that with Blue Streak.

It’s Sally Hansen’s $4.95 Insta-Dri in Blue Streak, and I can’t tell you how many girls asked about it at the conference last weekend.

The wide brush covers a large swath of the nail with every pass, which cuts down on the brush strokes, and it dries fast for a polish packing this much pigment. I’m wearing two coats here, and each one dries in less than five minutes.

It’s available now at Ulta stores, among other places that carry Sally Hansen polishes, and also online.

Stuff seems pretty sturdy, too. The mani I gave myself on Friday is still going strong. No chips whatsoever (note: I also applied a base and top coat). And I love the way I feel when I see it on my nails. 🙂

What are you wearing on your nails today?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

What Are You Wearing on Your Nails? / Originally published October 25th, 2011

Blue gradient on my toes – Zoya’s Ibiza (blackened blue) mixed with white, dark to light on my right foot, light to dark on the left. Nothing but Seche Rebuild (the Bombdizz!!) on my fingers because I couldn’t decide what colors to wear on them, lol.

I LOVE it! Felt a little guilty spending $17 on nail polish, so I kept it in the box and just walked by it a few times for the first two days. I finally dove in last night. WOnderful color, great formula.<3<3<3

I’m wearing Shellac’s Wildfire. I really love Shellac., it lasts so damn long and stays shiny and looking great sooooo much longer than a regular manicure. Since I can’t do my own nails (my left hand just doesn’t know what it’s doing!) and I have to go to a spa each time, it makes sense to get Shellac.

Are you referring to different shades on each finger? If that’s the case, I really like it, and I do it all the time. I try to make sure that the colors are related, though, otherwise it’s just too random for me.

I am wearing OPI Sand in My Suit… I usually don’t wear such drab colors but I am going back to work tomorrow after a two week vacation and I have to wear faily nude colors…. If I can get away with polish at all… Normally I wear Tickle my Francy, which is also a drab color, but I like it! It’s on my toes now! I really don’t want to go back to work tomorrow!!!!

China Glaze Westside Warrior, an amazing dark olive creme with a fab formula. I highly recommend that anyone who isn’t already to get on the China Glaze bandwagon; I have over 40 polishes from them alone and way over 90% of them are totally awesome in unique ways.

OPI Vodka & Caviar. I usually get good wear with this polish but it’s already chipped on 3 nails and I just did it last night! I hope the touch up I just did holds out till the weekend and I can redo them.

Rimmel Rags to Riches which is a shimmery olive green and put a coat of Wed n Wild Party of Five on top and really liked it. Not only that, it lasted about 5 days before it started to chip and then even after a week it was very minimal. I was so impressed for trying this out for the 1st time!

Essence’s You Belong to Me. The name’s a little creepy, but it is a stunning robin’s egg blue. It’s a quick drying 2 coater, only cost 99 cents, and the color makes me smile every time I see my nails 🙂

I’m wearing a ton of different nail colors. On the hands, it’s the four fingers of OPI’s I Brake for Manicures and one ring finger of Parlez-Vous OPI. On the toes, a simple coat of Mermaid’s Tears from OPI.

I really adore the new Sally Hansen wide nail brush. I am hooked on the insta-dri and complete salon manicure polishes. WHO is this Sally Hansen person and why do I keep giving her all my money??!!?? SH always makes the prettiest blues and greens, as well as nudes, in my opinion. I like the insta-dri for my “fun” colors since I am unable to wear those at work. (Hate our dress code in that fashion) They apply quickly, have a good price point and are a “sturdy” polish.
